There's no "building on existing AI" because those two technologies have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

The robotics structure, dexterity and sensors are already 90-95% there in leading edge humanoids. What makes it able to be a plumber or not are the machine learning models, which are usually built with transformers (VLAs -- vision language actions models), often include frontier VLMs or models with the same architecture as a top level control, and use the same or very similar types of reinforcement learning for training.
